With Air Display, you can use your iPad as a wireless display for your Mac OS X computer.

Air Display lets you position your iPad next to your computer, drag windows onto it, and interact with those windows as you would on any other computer display. Air Display's performance is extremely responsive, employing a clever dynamic compression algorithm. On a typical Wi-Fi network, mouse cursor refreshes are indistinguishable from a wired mouse.

Air Display works in both landscape and portrait configurations. Air Display not only gives you a wireless computer screen extender, but also works as a tablet input device. You can use your finger to draw directly on the screen's surface.



Uses for Air Display:
• Fill your iPad screen with your utility apps, like iChat, Mail, iCal, and Calculator.
• Amaze your friends by playing Flash animations on your iPad!
• Graphic design: Make Photoshop and Illustrator usable on your laptop by putting your tool palettes on the iPad screen.
• Music: Use your iPad as the ultimate control surface for Logic or Pro Tools.
• Programming: Use the extra display area for such auxiliary development tools as Console, Terminal, and the Debugger.
• Business: Move all of your iWork and Office palettes and inspector windows onto the iPad, and let your document fill the screen.
• Find your own uses.

The Air Display support software is only compatible with Mac OS X. Windows users, stay tuned! Windows support software will be available soon. Also Mac drivers are 32-bit only for now. The 64-bit extensions will completed within a day or two. Air Display requires a Wi-Fi network.

You can purchase Air Display from the App Store for $9.99.
